Questions about drip irrigation for fruit trees in containers

yes that looks like exactly the one! I ran it past drip depot though, asking them if they really thought the bubbler was preferable to the spot spitter for particular situation and they recommended I stick with the spot spitter because it can provide more precise control of waterflow - it’s a lot easier to overwater with the bubblers, they said. I have a whole range of containers I need to water from 2-25 gallons, so one thing I like about the spot spitter is how I can choose the exact right one for each container size based on the color coding. I also must admit I’m not entirely convinced those mini bubblers can wet the entire surface of a container as effectively as a spot spitter, seeing they emit water in an umbrella shape, and they are actually advertised as being specifically good for sending water to the root ball. I also like the fact spot spitters are what commercial nurseries use for their container trees, because I figure they are going to know what works best and use it. So I just ordered spot spitters in every color along with a bunch of other stuff. Can’t wait to set this system up and see it in action!
